FORMULA, MSA Chassis Parts

Chassis parts help support, strengthen and connect the structure of your vehicle. Fulcrum's range of car chassis parts includes chassis bracing and strengthening kits, strut tower braces, body mount bushes, tailshaft spacers, headlight sensor brackets and a range of replacement bushes. Whether you're upgrading a performance car, maintaining a daily driver or setting up a lifted 4WD, you'll find chassis parts designed to suit specific makes and models.

What Do Chassis Parts Do?

The chassis is the structure your vehicle's suspension, drivetrain and body are built around. Chassis parts either reinforce that structure, connect components to it, or help other systems work correctly when the vehicle has been modified.

Depending on the part, chassis parts can help:

• Add rigidity to the vehicle's structure
• Cushion the connection between the body and the chassis
• Correct driveline and sensor positioning after a suspension lift
• Replace worn bushes in body and cabin components

Types of Chassis Parts

Chassis Bracing and Strengthening Kits

Chassis bracing ties key points of the vehicle's structure together to increase rigidity and reduce flex. The range includes chassis braces, cross braces and brace supports designed for specific vehicles. Each chassis brace is made to suit a particular make and model, so check fitment before you buy.

Strut Tower Braces

A strut tower brace, also called a strut brace or strut bar, connects the left and right strut towers. By linking the towers together, a strut bar helps reduce chassis flex during cornering and load transfer. Strut tower braces are available for the front or rear of selected vehicles. Browse the Strut Braces range to find options for your vehicle.

Body Mount Bushes

On vehicles where the body sits on a separate chassis, such as many 4WDs and utes, the body is bolted to the chassis through a series of mounts. Body mount bushes sit at these points and cushion the connection between the body and the chassis. Replacement body mount bush kits are available for selected vehicles.

Tailshaft Spacers

When you lift a 4x4, driveline vibration is a common issue. A tailshaft spacer kit allows the tailshaft to be corrected to help reduce vibration and keep the driveline operating smoothly. Tailshaft spacers are vehicle-specific and are commonly fitted as part of a suspension lift.

Headlight Sensor Brackets

Some vehicles use a headlight height sensor to automatically adjust headlight aim. After a suspension lift, this sensor may no longer sit at the correct position, which can leave the headlights pointing at the wrong angle. A headlight sensor bracket or spacer helps keep the headlight height sensor aligned correctly once your vehicle is lifted.

Replacement Bushes for Body and Cabin Components

The range also includes replacement bushes and small components for parts around the body and cabin, including:

• Bonnet stops
• Door jamb bushes
• Fan mount bushes
• Sun visor clip bushes
• Throttle bushes
• Window regulator bushes

These are handy when restoring or maintaining a vehicle, particularly older and classic models.

Full fitment details, specifications and inclusions are listed on each product page.

Chassis Parts for Lifted 4WDs

A suspension lift changes more than ride height. On some vehicles, a lift can affect driveline angles and the position of sensors that rely on the distance between the body and the axle.

Chassis parts such as tailshaft spacers and headlight sensor brackets are designed to address these changes. Planning them alongside your lift kit means everything can be fitted at the same time. Depending on your vehicle, you may also need to consider brake line kits, handbrake parts and other components affected by the lift.

Chassis Parts for Performance and Everyday Cars

For performance cars and enthusiast builds, chassis bracing and strut tower braces are popular upgrades for drivers who want a more rigid structure. For everyday cars and older vehicles, replacement bushes and body mount bushes help maintain components that have worn over time.

Whatever you drive, choosing chassis parts designed specifically for your vehicle helps ensure the right fit.

Choosing the Right Chassis Parts

Chassis parts are designed to suit particular vehicles, so choosing the right one starts with your make and model. Before you buy, check:

• Vehicle fitment: use the vehicle search to find chassis parts that suit your make, model and year.
• Fitting position: check whether the part is designed for the front, rear or both.
• Your setup: if your vehicle is lifted or modified, confirm the part suits your configuration.
• What the part does: check the product description to confirm the part matches the job you need it to do.

Full fitment details and specifications are listed on each product page. If you can't find chassis parts for your vehicle, or you're unsure which ones you need, Fulcrum's team can help.

Fitting Chassis Parts

Some chassis parts, such as small replacement bushes, are straightforward to fit. Others, such as chassis braces, tailshaft spacers and headlight sensor brackets, may require more involved work. If you're not confident fitting chassis parts yourself, have them fitted by a qualified technician.

With Fulcrum's Click & Fit service, you can buy your chassis parts online and have them delivered to your nearest Fulcrum workshop for installation. This is a convenient option if you're fitting chassis parts at the same time as a lift kit or other suspension upgrade. Fulcrum also offers a free suspension check and wheel alignments.
